“He can absolutely be a great player,” (Matt) Moore said. “He really gets it. A lot of it is his attitude and how he approaches the game, how he shakes things off, how he uses his eyes. He’s got all the tools and he’s got the brains. But it’s his work ethic that is unmatched. I wouldn’t just say it to say it. If you don’t know where he’s at, he’s in the quarterback room watching something. It’s pretty impressive.”

Veteran cornerback Brent Grimes has gone up against Tannehill every day in practice. “When I got here, the first thing I noticed is that he has all the talent and can make all the throws,” Grimes said. “But as I’ve now been here for a while, what really impresses me is his reads and decisions. This is no longer a rookie quarterback.”
